Is this a Kingsville or a variety of B. sempervirens? With some thinning out and wiring you'll have a showpiece. Great work thus far.

Thank you for the compliment, I think it is coming along nicley as well. The two dimensional pic is a little deceiving, it is not as thick as it looks, and it has a gaping hole in the in the upper left of the canopy where I have moved that first branch down. Fortunatley I am getting growth from a branch that I puned an ugly bend from, and this growth should fill that hole nicely. This species is growing much faster then I had a first realized, once it became accustomed to the tub it is in now. I didn't get any growth the first year after collecting. I am thinking a nice big brown unglazed rectangular pot, what do you think? __________________ Emerging from winter slumber Bonsai trees burst buds anew Spring is upon us! -Paul S.

It will complement the shape much better. For a training pot, sure, a rectangular pot would work fine as a step down from what it's in now. But as a final pot, no. Good luck with it.
